Cheers- yes! Leaving on Saturday, picking up next Tuesday, 100% stoked.
Definitely planning on posting pics and a writeup of the whole thing.
Was touch and go a couple of times about whether the hassle was worth it, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a no-brainer once it's all under way.

steven7270, I want to give you a heads up: In your pictures of the stock light, it is missing the black plastic housing. When I put in the cheap aftermarket ones on my car, I noticed that when the stock lights were swung down, the corner of the housing gets caught and pulled off. You have a piece of black plastic up inside the door now. I am not sure how essential it is, but I would be concerned that if the wire bent back and was right on top of the LED, the heat from the LED could burn the insulation. The LED gets very hot--I know because it burned my finger when I made the switch.

I put in Quattro puddle lights (OEM, not cheap).
On mine, I broke the clear plastic clip off the lens, and now have that rolling around my driver's door.
I ordered these lights off eBay in 2015 for my 2014 A4. When I traded her in this past Feb I took them out and installed them in my 2017 A4. Different fit but after some cursing I managed to get a proper fit (had to use additional harness that came with lights/was not required on 2014 model). Obviously not the same brightness/clarity as OEM but just a fraction of the cost (approx $44 Canadian for all 4). I think they look pretty good myself.
